SOLAR SYSTEM
THE SUN –
It is a star of the Solar system. The other objects including planets, comets, dust particles etc. orbit the sun.
The composition of the Sun is as follows :
Hydrogen - 74% of its mass value
Helium - 25% of its mass value
Oxygen – 0.75% of its mass value, and
Other elements (Carbon, Iron, Nitrogen, Silicon, Magnesium, Sulphur etc. – 0.25% of
its mass value.
The temperature at the Surface is approximately 5500 Degree Celcium which forms white colour but because of scattering in atmosphere, it appears yellow from Earth.
It generates energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in the form of light, ultra-violet rays, X-rays, Gamma Rays, Cosmic Rays, Radio Waves etc. It rorates in circular path around galactic center with a speed of 220 Km. per second.
